Hi Martin, Done in-house. And considering because of duration of action. Watched last week's webinar on medicating cats and all taken in to account ( cat temperament- very good; owner disabilities: none). Basically I think it is just that the owner has convinced herself that she cannot manage this cat. We treat. The hospital practice treats. The cattery treats. No issue.

I'm quite a good people person but there's no going forward with this client. If we could administer every 3 weeks...?

[quote user="Karen Eggleton"]for some reason owner unable to clean.[/quote]Perhaps knowing this reason would help!

[quote user="Karen Eggleton"]Considered off licence Osurnia... but at a bit of a loss beyond that. [/quote]Why would you want to use this unless you've performed C & S and it is indicated? And if you have why hasn't it responded to other topical antibiotics/antifungal drops?

[quote user="Karen Eggleton"]Tried DMV[/quote]

Any of the potent human CCS lotions or ointment always worked for me, after most success with Panolog [sob, now gone].

Only used injectables if canal had no secretion but was swollen and red.

it was a common presentation in the days before "systemic" ear-mite control.

Don't think I ever needed any surgery on these in a cat.

"Ears" were >7% of consults back in the day; doubt if they are that much now with systemic ear-mite killers?

Ceruminous otitis can be a bugger to get on top of.

Decent review here

What systemic cst? Depo is a good choice I find for these.

Otherwise lateral wall resection can help with aerating the horizontal canals. Otherwise TECA.
